CURRENT RESEARCH

I am in a strong research network in the marketing discipline nationally and internationally. Apart from the networks that revolve around the books I have edited, I am closely connected to academics associated with various conferences. I have independent and joint research plans around a number of interrelated themes such as postmodernism, acculturation and ethnic minority consumption, ethnic entrepreneurship, symbolic consumption, and brand relationship vis-a-vis ethnic consumers. I plan to explore these deeply by making research funding applications such that will lead to robust submissions to high quality peer-reviewed journals.
